Plan the year. Then ask the bank.

Quigkar DAC helps small and medium-sized businesses in Ireland map their cash across the year and prepare applications to banks and other licensed lenders for overdrafts, credit lines and working capital finance. The lender makes the decision.

Quigkar DAC does not lend money and is not a bank, a credit union, a retail credit firm or a credit intermediary for consumers. It is not authorised or regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. We work only with businesses, preparing cash plans and application documents. Lenders decide on every application, and approval is never guaranteed.

01What we do

Six pieces of a strong application

For limited companies, sole traders and partnerships in trade, services and light manufacturing. Scope and fee are agreed in writing before work starts.

Cash year

A twelve-month cash forecast built from your real sales, costs and payment terms.

Facility size

How large a facility you actually need, with a sensible buffer and no more.

Right product

Overdraft, revolving credit, invoice finance or a term loan, matched to the need.

Accounts summary

Your last accounts and management figures, set out the way a lender reads them.

Document pack

Bank statements, tax clearance, aged debtors and creditors, gathered and checked.

Offer review

Fees, security, personal guarantees and covenants in plain words, with questions to ask.

02Cash year

How big a facility do you need?

Fill in the expected net cash flow for each month: money in minus money out, in thousands of euro. The chart shows your balance through the year and the facility that would carry you through the low point.

Negative numbers are months when more money goes out than comes in.

03Questions

Frequently asked

Do you lend money or decide on applications?

No. We prepare the cash plan and the documents. Banks and other licensed lenders decide whether to lend, how much and on what terms.

How are you paid?

A fixed fee agreed in writing before work starts. We do not charge a percentage of the facility, and we never ask for a fee to "release" or "guarantee" a loan.

Can you help with a personal loan or a mortgage?

No. We work only with businesses. For personal borrowing, speak to your bank or credit union, or to MABS for free money advice.

What if the bank says no?

Ask the bank for its reasons in writing. You can then ask the Credit Review Office for a free review. We can help you prepare for that review.

How long does preparation take?

It depends mostly on how quickly your figures and documents are available. Once we have them, a typical cash plan and application pack takes a few working days.

  • Local Enterprise Office: free mentoring and supports for small businesses.
